Past the paranoia, Durant takes new mindset into 2017 Finals: 'Can't wait'

OAKLAND -- Practice is over, as are his primary media obligations for the day. And now Kevin Durant is strolling over and plopping into a chair to talk with NBCSportsBayArea.com about himself and his game and the upcoming NBA Finals.
